Memory Improvement

Memory Improvement

1. Verbal Mnemonics: Acronym a word or phrase is formed from the initial letters of whatever we’re attempting to commit to memory for example OILRIG (oxidation is loss, reduction is gain). Acrostic A poem or sentence where the first letter of each word or line helps us recall sequence etc for example My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets. Rhymes Pretty obvious really, but rhymes are easier to remember 30 days have September, April June and November etc…

2. Visual Mnemonics: this is based on the organisation of things to be recalled. For example if we want to recall things in order first, second, third etc. First we associate each number (one, two, three) with something that rhymes (verbal mnemonics)
